Chapter 13 Physical Development

It’s 2005 in a blink of an eye.

Xiangyang now has a long line and a mount under his crotch.

A chestnut-colored horse with long teeth.

From infantry to cavalry, this change is quite good.

The skill of riding animals is one of the benefits of Xiangyang's life in the countryside.

Not only mules and horses, but also pigs and dogs, I also rode them when I was young.

He even once held a wooden stick and started a battle with the two calves each riding an old sow.

It was a joy to play.

Because the cavalry's fighting speed is very fast, as long as he is not given a close-up shot, it will be difficult for the audience to see that he is the three treasures who were sacrificed 'later'.

According to the development of the plot, the scene of the cavalry company came earlier than the sacrifice of Sanbao, but we are not filming, since it is filming, it is difficult to follow the development of the plot.

Especially this cavalry scene.

The person I met that day, everyone called him Brother Shui.

In fact, he is not watery at all. He is a tough man with tendons all over his body. He is a real brother.

Brother Shui's character in "Bright Sword" is Sun Desheng, the captain of the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment.

However, according to Brother Shui himself, he is not a company commander, but a squad leader at most.

Of course, Xiangyang knew about Brother Shui. After the movie "Bright Sword", the character Sun Desheng became popular among the people. Brother Shui later became famous in Hengdian, and his tendon meat was his trademark.

Come to think of it, Brother Shui's best performance in the film should be "The Sichuan Army Fights to the End"

These all happened later, and it has nothing to do with the present, Xiang Yang can only express emotion at most.

The conditions for the drama "Bright Sword" were still very difficult.

There are simply not many good horses in our play.

But what should I do for filming?

It was necessary to at least create a large number of Japanese cavalry, so Director Zhang took advantage of his affinity as an old man and began to shout in the remote areas of Yuzhou County and Guangling.

Does anyone have a horse?

It’s okay to have a mule.

The same cannot be said for a donkey. It's too easy to spot, and it can't run very fast.

Grandpa Zhang's pickiness caused the folks in the two counties to scold him constantly, and naturally brought trouble to the county leaders.

I just treated him as a beggar and helped our crew get hundreds of horses.

The folks were very cooperative and said frankly that if our horse loses fat, your crew will not be able to continue filming!
What a real folks, I won't play tricks with you.

However, horses alone are not enough, you must also have cavalry.

There seems to be only one battalion of cavalry left in our country. They are rare and expensive. With the budget of this drama, we simply cannot hire them.

Simply, be self-sufficient, so Brother Shui is looking for people everywhere. Anyone who can ride a horse, or even someone who has ridden a donkey, can come.

Xiangyang has a relatively rich variety of mounts.

Just like that, Xiang Yang joined and became a cavalryman, and he could continue to make money by playing a small role in the crew of "Bright Sword".

Originally, Brother Zheng wanted to join, but he was a squad leader and had to lead his comrades to continue fighting on other battlefields.

Zheng Ge's face is uncomfortable.

The big scene of the cavalry battle has not been filmed yet, only some small scenes, such as the scene of chasing Ding Wei, and the rest is just training. This training lasted for a month.

During this month, Xiangyang's little life has been so comfortable.

The filming of "Bright Sword" went very smoothly.

The ranks of the Independent Regiment have stabilized in Zhaojiayu.

Xiuqin's eldest sister and Lao Li have developed quite a lot, especially in that scene.

Zhao Gang, the political commissar, heard the situation that Sister Xiuqin told him and the expression on his face. . .

When filming this section, Xiang Yang certainly couldn't miss it, and just watched from the side.

Sure enough, the CPs of our drama are more like Lao Li and Lao Zhao... Okay, this is just a joke.

Of course, Xiang Yang would not miss Liang Linlin's performance. If he hadn't known about it before, he would never have imagined that this girl was not a peasant girl.

Whenever he watched other people acting like this, Xiangyang was very immersed in it, which even made him forget some things.

For example, before Xiuqin soaked Lao Li's feet, Xiang Yang forgot to remind Liang Linlin to change hands, and covered his mouth with the hand that first grabbed Lao Li's stinky feet.

But it’s probably nothing. Our master won’t dislike the smell of his feet, right?
Maybe it's similar to bad breath, you'll get used to it.

Really not intentional, really not.

I can't explain it, so I just have fun on my own.

In addition to observing and studying, Xiangyang would have a drink with the master when he had free time.

The master treated his apprentice very well. While drinking, he not only talked about acting, but also told Xiang Yang about his past filming.

Xiang Yang felt that this was a valuable experience, so he listened carefully and sometimes even took notes in a notebook.As far as the master, Lao Li, said it himself, he, in fact, came from a wild background. The one who was really good at acting in Lao Li's family was not him, but his sister.

But Ye Luzi also came from a good background, because there was a very good condition at that time, and that was Changying Factory.

Changying Film Studio was originally the number one film company in our country, but later... didn't it start all over again?

Lao Li said that he was really a handsome young man back then. The phrase in our play, "Lao Li was also a famous handsome young man in eight villages across ten miles and eighty miles" was a word he added to himself. In the novel There is no script.

Master Lao Li originally had the opportunity to be a child actor, but it was a pity that the movie was not successful. Fortunately, when he was 27 years old, the opportunity came again. He played the role of an officer in his 40s. The officer's temperament was not He Lao Li definitely can't do it...

As Xiang Yang listened, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything, so he simply wrote it down in a small notebook.

Well, I can’t let go of this valuable experience. As soon as I debuted, I was 27 and acted as 40, which is quite handsome.

However, in the past month, Xiang Yang has gotten very close to one person, and that is Brother Shui.

No, the two of them held their horses and walked side by side, and started chatting again.

"Brother Shui, tell me again, how to train these shoulders?"

"Yangzi, I've told you before. It's not that I won't tell you the truth, but your condition is probably very difficult. I also gave you a quick fix. If you want to look good, your shoulders must be broad. , shoulders and head are wide, just one movement, dumbbell lateral raise, you can practice this."

"Brother Shui, I've heard this before. So, what about chest exercises?"

"Pectoral muscle training is actually divided into three parts. The chest muscles are divided into upper, middle and lower parts. Simply put in bench press, flat plate, incline plank and down incline plank. These are three movements. Although they are all bench press, the training When doing exercises, there are other exercises, such as using parallel bar arm extensions for the lower chest, which are also very good.”

"Thank you, Brother Shui!"

"I'm talking about Yangzi, I'm telling you this, I'm scared myself, do you know? For things like fitness, three points of training, seven points of eating, in terms of your conditions, I'm not talking about your own conditions, but External conditions, and ah, fitness and muscle growth are measured in years."

"Brother Shui, I understand that I belong to the poor training group, but these are indeed helpful to me. If you are poor, just practice hard. I will just think of more ways."

"Poor practice? Hahaha..."

Brother Shui couldn't help but laugh when he heard this word. His voice was very hoarse and his laughter was very unpleasant, no better than a crow.

Xiang Yang actually understood why Brother Shui was laughing. It was absolutely not malicious.

Fitness requires money, lots and lots of money.

Looking at a muscular man, anyone who knows anything will understand that that body of flesh can be regarded as money.

Fitness cards, equipment, supplements, food, hiring coaches, and finding knowledge all cost money.

Ordinary fitness is already very expensive, let alone medication. Of course, medication is indeed controversial, but the prerequisite for using medication is that you must have money, and you can probably live without it for a month.

Brother Shui is really afraid that Xiangyang will practice wrongly and hurt his body.

So, why is Xiangyang so interested in fitness?

The book "The Actor's Self-cultivation" actually has three parts in total, but generally the upper and lower parts are the main ones, because the third part is unfinished.

In other words, there were originally three books, but now they are all published together.

The upper part, in Si's own words, is mainly about the inner experience of the character.

But when it comes to the lower part, it's the physical aspect.

The performance academic system of the former Soviet Union was very complete. Judging from Si's records, it included gymnastics and martial arts.

In other words, for an actor, the development of his own body is an important part.

One of the reasons why Xiang Yang signed up for the cavalry company directly when he saw Brother Shui appeared was that he wanted to learn about fitness from Brother Shui.

This was his advantage as a reborn person, he knew that Brother Shui was a fitness fanatic.

Of course, that brotherly noble temperament is really difficult to conceal.

For now, the conditions in rural areas are incomparable with those in cities, especially in our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.

Xiang Yang often complains that this place is a remote place. Not only does he say this, but also the villagers themselves.

There is no good nutrition, and besides, they are exposed to wind and sun every day and work hard.

Skin, body, it’s amazing to look good.

To put it bluntly, rural people and urban people can tell at a glance who has a fair face and who has a scorched face.

If you want to be a good actor, appearance is absolutely important.

Now Xiang Yang can basically only play small roles, and his impact is not very big. What can he do next?
His ambition is not small, he has already made up his mind, he can't keep playing tricks.

According to Brother Shui, fitness is calculated in years, so if I change my appearance to Xiangyang, I can also calculate it in years.

During this month, Xiang Yang also made plans for the next step. When he leaves the crew of "Bright Sword", he will go...

At this moment, Mr. Zhang, oh, Director Zhang Qian came.

"Are you almost done practicing? According to the plan, we have to start shooting today."

When Brother Shui heard this, he didn't say much. He got on his horse and yelled.

"Cavalry Company! Assemble!"

……

　Please recommend, please collect. Well, the contract should still be on the way. I am also anxious about the black car, but I can only wait.
